Long the subject of SF pulp fiction now coming to a bank, grocery store, hardware store, and other public places near you. All, of course, for the bottom line and greedy profiteering by companies and corporations. So much for customer convenience, keeping the customer satisfied, and happy business relations with the public. (I have long been on the side with employees and told them I’d rather they have a job than some soulless machine or bot.)
And companies and corporations are madly competing for the remaining declining citizen bucks remaining. There is an increasing frenzy as this terminal cash grab spirals toward a black hole in which ordinary people can’t buy anymore and owe too much to buy all the latest gimmicks and entertainments. No question that a lot of folks are setting themselves up for financial failures.
And that includes small to medium businesses as lights continue to go out for all the Hallmarks and the like who can no longer compete with the populace hooked on buying online instead of real stores. With all the increasing and forthcoming unemployment, how will people be able to pay for all this gotta-have-it stuff?
Get ready for shopping mall failures and numerous bankruptcies and takeovers ahead as the economy starts this inevitable implosion. Too much greed at the top, no sense of common sense, decency, sanity, balance, and reciprocity. No question the angst and mental illness cases will go way–up amongst all age groups. Especially now that nobody, who cares for the country and ordinary people, is in charge in either Washington and Ottawa.
